Note: beautiful decorated shield, rare mintmark in field, very rare bust type and short obverse legend for this 6th emmission at Ticinum.
The only example of this exact type known!
This coin is part of the rare first phase of Ticinum’s 6th emission (according to Pink’s emission classification) with greek numerals of officinae not accompanied by the XXI monetary reform mark. In the much more common and abundant second phase of 6th emission the greek numerals were followed by the XXI mark in the exergue.
Spectacular example with full silvering!
